4 reasons why I hate WhatsApp for iOS

By -
WhatsApp for iPhoneWhatsApp is most popular internet based chatting application, which is acquired by facebook recently. I use it more than 100 times a day in my iPhone, but there are some annoying features / loopholes which makes me to hate WhatsApp for iphone and turns my soft corner towards android.




Automatic downloading of photos
WhatsApp application for iPhone downloads the photos and videos without any instruction and the worst part is it doesn’t have any option to set it. Some intelligent people argue that, there is an option in WhatsApp to turn off automatic savings of media to gallery, but wait… it only prevents photos to be saved in gallery, but still it continues to download automatically and stores into WhatsApp's gallery, which you can access through contact’s “View all media” option.


Re-downloading of messages 
I don’t know, what’s wrong with iPhone, it shows messages in notification, but when you go to WhatsApp, it again tries to connect to internet and re-downloads all the messages again. Then what’s the point of notification???



Want to see internal gallery of WhatsApp for any contact / group? First connect to internet
To much irritating. One more additional feature (actually failure) of WhatsApp for iPhone is, WhatsApp stops me from viewing media / contact information of a person, if I am not connected to Internet. What the logic they have put behind it, can’t imagine.


Don’t allow me to send a message when I am not connected to Internet
Why WhatsApp assumes, I should not write message when its not connected to internet? Why should I wait until I got Internet connection? I might want to write a message and post it, whenever my iPhone get connected to internet, it should send automatically. Its really annoying feature (read failure).


If you also have some more reasons to hate WhatsApp for iPhone, please write your views in comments.
